Trunk bike Motocompo

The Honda idea Motocompo is an ongoing principle based onto the Honda minibike Monkey and Dax concept. Be mobile whereever you are. Like a trunk you can take this bike into your car, and i.e. if you enter the city, put it out, turn the bars, open the gas, kick the engine and go.

The Honda Motocompo was build 1981 as Honda NCZ 50 in the colors red, yellow, white and black. It has a 2-stroke 49cc engine with 2,5 PS.

Ol' Man Biker

"Solange ich laufen kann, fahre ich auch mein Bike" scheint dieser ältere Biker zu denken. Nach den fetten Jahren nimmt die Zahl der neuen Fahrer weiter kontinuierlich ab, knapp 7% weniger Zulassungen in 2010 sprechen eine deutliche Sprache. Ein Grund sind sicher die hohen Kosten für den Führerschein. Dabei müsste es doch eigentlich politisch gewollt sein mehr Menschen mit einem Zweirad mobil zu machen, denn der Spritverbrauch oder Parkplatzraum sind ja deutlich geringer als bei einem vierrädigem KfZ. Aber anscheinend hat sich das noch nicht in den zuständigen Ministerien rumgesprochen? Quelle: Focus
